A new Mac App Store, an improved Finder, dark mode and more

Cupertino computing giant Apple has announced the latest version of its macOS desktop platform: macOS Mojave.

The latest version of macOS features a number of improvements over its predecessor, including a dark mode that completely changes the operating system to suit a darker theme.

Not only are default macOS apps — like Photos and Calendar — changed by the darker theme, but so are third-party app windows — like Google Chrome.

“It starts with the desktop…”

Desktop Stacks arrange content on the desktop into manipulatable stacks. Users can arrange their stacks by file type, date modified or tags.

The revised Finder app also provides users with a new ‘Gallery’ view and an improved sidebar that provides users with complete information on metadata.

The Finder app also provides users with ‘Quick Actions,’ that allow the manipulation of documents right within Finder — rather than needing to open up a separate app.

Users can even create custom automated actions such as adding a watermark to documents and photos.

A new screenshot process allows users to access the Markup annotation tool directly within a screen shot.

Users will also be able to screen shot videos to create GIFs.

Improved Continuity and Continuity Camera

Certain apps will allow users to use the ‘Continuity Camera’ feature, which not only gives users the option of taking photos using their iOS devices and manipulate those photos on their macOS device, but Continuity Camera also allows for improved text capture.
